Fifty years from today, what will the world look like?

On this podcast, we discuss the future of the automotive industry, the development of different types of cars, and how infrastructures in cities will need to transform. In this episode, we’re taking it one step further. We’re tackling a specific vision of how cities will transform, both above and below ground, as a result of the rapidly changing automotive industry. 

This episode features Gernot Spiegelberg, from the corporate research office for Siemens in Germany. He was one of the very first people interviewed on this podcast, and he’s back for one last episode before he retires. Before he starts the next chapter of his life, Gernot shares with us his specific vision for the future, including underground roads, a city filled with parks, and breathable air devoid of automotive-related pollutants. 

Together, we discuss how interconnected the automotive industry is with the rest of the world. From jobs inside and outside of the automotive industry, to the state of our world, to the ways we move around inside of buildings, Gernot paints us a picture of how the world is expeditiously changing.

There’s nothing more annoying than inching along the road in a city with heavy traffic. With today’s traffic light systems, it’s not unusual to stop at a red light, travel 30 feet, then get stopped again. Rinse and repeat.

There are, however, innovations in the works to create intelligent traffic systems: ones that collect data, analyze the patterns, and make adjustments in real-time, ultimately making traffic systems more efficient than they are today. In this episode, we go beyond talking about just autonomous cars. Instead, we’re investigating the world of autonomous and connected cars, and the infrastructure changes that will transform the way we travel.

Eric Gannaway, from Siemens Intelligent Traffic Systems in Detroit, is our tour guide for this episode. Together, we discuss the potential costs and benefits of connected vehicles, how intelligent traffic systems will improve traffic flow, and what the future of employment in the automotive industry might look like.

David Fritz has been making the rounds to talk about the Siemens PAVE360 program, a validation environment for ADAS and automated driving that spans chips to vehicle hardware and software to simulated traffic flows. Here, David sits down with Automoblog's Carl Anthony at AutoSens in Detroit to run through the rationale behind the program, announced in May 2019 and already featured in EE Times and of course, on the Autonocast, our guests at AutoSens. (The Autonocast subscriber count now tops 45,000; nice job Ed, Kirsten and Alex!) In this interview, David gives his take on what keep execs at the big automakers and suppliers up at night, why these companies are contemplating (or already well down the road) in in-house custom chip design, and why existing chip architectures are insufficient for ADAS and automated driving applications. (Editor's note: This interview is available on YouTube, as well.)

We commissioned independent analyst, Joe Barkai, to write this paper giving his take on how automotive design is changing given the oft-mentioned trends of electrification, connectivity and autonomy. We decided to present that paper in audio form in this episode, along with a brief introductory discussion with Joe, who's also Chairman of the Automotive IoT program at SAE International and former VP of research at IDC.

Notably, Joe not only provides a relatively thorough and evergreen assessment of the megatrends daily in the news, but also devotes a bit of analysis to implications of all this disruption for PLM. He writes: "A common PLM platform enables uniform access to authoring tools and exchanges information with enterprise systems, automates manual processes and provides migration and translation from legacy systems. With integrations for enterprise software systems such as PDM, ALM, CAD and ERP, this next generation platform connects all users into a single set of information and processes."

An editor's note here that the paper also includes links to source material and additional information, so if you enjoy the episode, make sure to download the PDF for more. You can find Joe on Twitter @JoeBarkai.

Thanks for listening and let us know what you think about this format as we continue to experiment with how to make the most of our podcast feed. The example we are following here is from publications like The Economist and The New Yorker which offer some or all of their written articles in audio, as well.

"Electrification is indispensable for autonomous vehicles," says Puneet Sinha, in a recent Siemens blog, offered here in audio. Among the topics Puneet addresses: how to compensate for range reduction associated autonomous functionality; how the convergence of autonomy and electrification affects the electrical distribution system; and why virtual testing, validation, and verification will loom larger in the years ahead. Make sure to check out Puneet's post, as well, for twin photos (courtesy Navigant's Sam Abuelsamid) comparing the low-voltage wiring harness of a production Chevy Bolt with that of autonomous Chevy Bolt test vehicle. The added complexity and weight is clear at a glance.
